Im a newly wed Its been 9 months to be exact, My husband makes me feel bad by not only not being affectionate but also rejecting me at times when
Im trying to hug him or touch him by saying its too hot or give me some privacy, I tried to be patient but its bothering me alot, he makes me feel like Im a vey needy person, Only when he is in the mood he is happy to receive love but I feel like Im the only one who is always initiating! Im very frustrated I cant even talk to him about it cuz every time I try to say something he stops me by saying here we go what are you gonna nag about now? I think I need help cuz Im going crazy |
Follow-Up Postings:
Was he like this before you married? If so, why the he// did you marry him? I think you need to talk to a counsellor to sort out how YOU feel about your marriage. Then if you decide things need to change because you can't take it if they continue as they are now (and I don't blame you at all if you do, it's what I would do) then you need to convey this message calmly to your husband. If he's unwilling to change then perhaps you would both be happier if you went your separate ways. In the meantime DO NOT get pregnant. You don't want children to complicate this. |
Ditto colleenoz. Sort it out now. Don't wait. Don't get pregnant. |

Thanks for ur posts guys! We never lived together before marriage we just used to spend the whole weekends together and went to a couple of trips he wasnt like this at all and when I told him why he changed he said he hasnt and cuz we only used to see each other on the weekends and we werent in each other's face 24h! To be honest I think maybe its my fault Iam hard work, he is a good man I do like him alot maybe its just his character he is not Lovey dobby he just want his space and he doesnt like to show affection! Last time I talked to him he said I give him too much love and I should just wait for him to feel like he needs it and then he will give me some and he will initiate but Im not a patient person at all and I also think I need more than that! I wish I could talk to a councellor but I cant |
I think you are quite normal, and justified in being concerned about your situation. If you are unhappy it should be a concern of your husband. Read up on using positive language when you bring up your concerns. Like saying "I"...unhappy, sad, .... Try not to accuse him of being the cause of your unhappiness. Counselling would help you both, seek out a good counsellor to help your through this time. Was he like this before you got married ? What is his family like, are they affectionate ? No babies, please ! |
"I wish I could talk to a councellor but I cant" Why not? |

What I'm going to say may sound impossible, but I'll say it anyway-- The first thing that hit me when I read your post is--This is a gay guy trying to be straight. You come across as timid and not wanting to make waves and maybe that's why he chose you. He shuts you up by accusing you of nagging and that puts the fault on you not him. What YOU HAVE to do is make waves or else resign yourself to this lifestyle. Tell him you are unhappy with your life style. Ask him point blank if he is gay and if he isn't why does he push you away. Insist on going to a marriage counsilor. I know you don't want to break up your marriage but isn't it better to know now than 10 years down the road with a couple of kids to raise on your own. Sitting around and doing nothing will get you more of the same and a miserable life. |
- Posted by honey_2010 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 14, 10 at 22:37
No way he is definitely not gay I am sure of it, its just I think maybe he is not used to it! I cant talk to a councillor cuz he thinks I should be able to solve my own problems and deal with them and he also thinks there are so many big problems in life and this is not as important and he cant understand what Im stressing about so much and sometimes he says that Iam a sook! on top of all these cant really afford it at the moment! |
>>I cant talk to a councillor cuz he thinks I should be able to solve my own problems and deal with them and he also thinks there are so many big problems in life and this is not as important and he cant understand what Im stressing about so much and sometimes he says that Iam a sook! << Frankly if that's his attitude then I'd say he is a controlling a$$h)le! Sometimes a problem is so overwhelming it's impossible to see a resolution from the inside. Sometimes you need someone who's outside the problem to step back and look at it dispassionately for ways to solve it. Let's face it, you're unlikely to convince yourself while you're so upset, that your problem is minor, but if a counsellor who had no stake in your marriage said, Hey, in the grand scheme of things this is no biggie (NOT that I think this is what they would say), you would be more receptive to the idea. If my daughter came to me with this story I'd be a) paying for her counselling and b) letting her know that disentangling herself from such an uncaring lout would be no shame and preferable before she started a family. If your feelings matter so little to him in the newness of marriage, it's not going to improve any once the glow wears off. |
You really need someone to talk to who is objective. They will give you suggestions that you can relate to. What your DH is saying is not fair and shows an uncaring attitude. Please talk to a sibling, parent, or trusted person, friend. Seek help, if you do not know what to do. This is a fair and reasonable thing to do in your situation. Your marriage is in jeopardy ....better communication will help you find some happiness in the future. All the best. |
"I cant talk to a councillor cuz he thinks I should be able to solve my own problems and deal with them and he also thinks there are so many big problems in life and this is not as important and he cant understand what Im stressing about so much and sometimes he says that Iam a sook!" I don't know what a "sook" is but assume it's not a compliment. You've got yourself a real jerk there sweetheart. Find out pronto if this is fixable or not. If this is the response you're getting and it is not mistaken or amenable to change, you need to get out of there. This may not be a solvable problem. "... on top of all these cant really afford it at the moment!" Oh...but you can afford a sucky life for how long? Don't wait on this. If you've described things accurately there may be nothing to do but chalk it up and leave. After nine months of experience with this, I certainly wouldn't be waiting and hoping for something other. This is what you've got. This is how it's going to be. I'll bet leaving will be a money problem, too, but some action is clearly called for. Otherwise, this will be your life. |
- Posted by scarlett2001 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 15, 10 at 21:08
People, especially those in first marriages, sometimes need a lot of time to adjust to living with, sleeping with and being close to another person. If he has been living alone for some time or comes from a family that is not too touchy-feely, your displays of affection are probably strange to him. It may be a bigger problem or it may just be a matter of finding a middle ground in which you are both comfortable. |
I agree with Scarlett. When I want to read or have a report to do my husband understands. Likewise when he has something to do that requires concentration I try to be really cooperative. Everybody has their own level of closeness, and their own ability to keep themselves occupied and happy. Some people like to read,or watch t.v.,check their Email, make quilts, cook or plan stuff by themselves uninterrupted. Other people cannot sit still for two minutes without being noticed and entertained by another person. Counseling isn't going to change that. I'm not necessarily saying that's you--but its a thought to consider. You may have a difference in age or education that factors into it. |
>>I cant even talk to him about it cuz every time I try to say something he stops me by saying here we go what are you gonna nag about now?<< >>I cant talk to a councillor cuz he thinks I should be able to solve my own problems and deal with them and he also thinks there are so many big problems in life and this is not as important and he cant understand what Im stressing about so much and sometimes he says that Iam a sook! << That's not adjustment issues, that's sheer nastiness on the part of the OP's husband. If it were a "settling in" thing, and being so newly married, DH would express his need for "alone time" in a less confrontational way. Sorry, Honey, I really think you got a lemon here. |
- Posted by honey_2010 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 18, 10 at 22:16
Well Its very complicated what I described doesn't happen all the time its not happening every day sometimes everything is great and when it happens I cant talk to my family they are very far away and I don't want to make them worried and also If I tell them they will start to hate him and what if we could overcome this but they would never be able to forgive him? I definitely don't want that to happen! I kinda agree with those people who said it's just that he is not used to it! It is strange for him to get so much love and attention from someone but for me its hard cuz he is not giving me the same amount of attention or anywhere near what I give him I used to get that from my family now I'm getting a fraction of that! and he thinks I should be happy with what Im getting and dont be greedy! maybe he is right I just have to find a way to deal with it |

10 things to do for $10 in Denver this weekend (6 free!), June 13-15
Here comes the weekend, and it sounds like the good weather alone will be reason to leave your house. But all the great activities scheduled around town provide dozens of other reasons -- and many of those activities won't even cost you much. If you're looking for interesting, fun, wacky events -- hang out in a graveyard, learn what sex-ed didn't teach you or expand your mind on some anarchist art -- here are our picks for ten things to do for under $10 (and most are free!)
Remember, the Westword calendar features a complete list of events, and you can share information on more bargain activities in the comments section below.
See also: Playbill: This week's dance and drama picks
Friday Flash #6 at Denver Theater District (Friday, free)
Social media has changed our society for better or worse, and it's accelerated the changes in art as a medium, too. Tonight's Flash Friday will attempt to be the first public display of an "anarchist" art movement, where people must show up to view which artists will be broadcast on the giant screens at 14th and Champa streets. For this edition, Digerati is taking art out of the galleries for a one-of-a-kind experience.
World Soccer Celebration at Skyline Park (Friday-Sunday, free)
The World Cup is an amazing thing when you think about it. Because of a game that dudes play with their feet, the entire world gathers around screens in villages, pubs and even downtown Denver, where matches will be broadcast for free public viewing on a giant, twenty-foot screen. And if you don't want to watch the game, Skyline Park will also host related events and activities. Enjoy world peace and camaraderie while it lasts.
Juneteenth at Five Points (Friday-Saturday, free)
Juneteenth is a long-standing tradition here in Denver. The celebration dates back to 1865 -- it marks the day that slaves in Texas learned they were free -- but it still carries a powerful message today. Juneteenth strives to promote and showcase African-American culture, and Denver's activities will include a parade, pageants, kids' activities, concerts and much more.
National Get Outdoors Day at City Park (Saturday, free)
Get the kids outdoors today -- and get them to burn up some energy. This free event includes adventure courses, canoeing and rock-climbing, and encourages everyone -- not just kids -- to enjoy the great outdoors. Smokey the Bear will be on hand, too, in case you want to take a selfie.
Brewgrass at Old South Pearl Street (Saturday, $5)
Boulder isn't the only city with a cool Pearl Street. Southwest of Washington Park is the shopping district of Old South Pearl, where the businesses shut down a couple of blocks for festivals where the music and the craft beer flow. Brewgrass kicks off this summer's series of shows, and for only $5 you can hear seven bands fiddlin' and yodelin'. Some crazy dudes from Witchita known as Split Lip Rayfield will be headlining, and from the looks of it, they know how to spark a party.
Keep reading for five more things to do in Denver this weekend.

Dating Disaster: I Was Really Late, He Was Really Drunk
The thought, "Oh God, he has to hate me," is never a good sign during a first date. But when you're two hours late and he hasn't responded to your last text, it's not possible to think of anything else. Let's start from the beginning.
We met on a train ride from New York to Connecticut. We were with a large group headed to a mutual friend of a friend's barbeque extravaganza. Anyone familiar with Metro North knows that an hour-and-a-half long trip is not complete without a trip to the bar car and a conversation started over an $8 can of Miller.
Sean was a different kind of guy. I was used to going out with smart guys (I went to a good college and live in New York), but he was a different kind of smart. A smart that took itself less seriously. A smart that didn't calculate ways to work in its earning power into every conversation. A smart that could do anything but didn't define itself by what it did, if that makes sense. Needless to say, I found him very interesting. We split off at the barbeque but he managed to ask for my phone number (smart of him) before he headed back to the city. 5 First Date Tips For The Ladies
Flash-forward a week or so: Sean called, told me how much he enjoyed chatting with me and wondered what I was doing the following Friday. I was very excited to see him but I was a little reluctant to set up an actual date on a weekend when my free time was so limited. I had recently been promoted, and my new position involved signing my life over to my manager (whom we'll call Kip). I now leased personal time from him and did my best to spend weekend time with friends. Sean said Thursday was fine. 5 Worst First Dates Ever
We agreed to meet at one of the million indistinguishable Irish sports pubs in Manhattan, and settled on 8 PM. I did my absolute best to get out of work at a decent hour. In fact, I had so much time on my hands that I did a little shopping on my way to the date. A mistake. After picking up a handful of things (tights, tees and the like) from a favorite discount store, I was back on track. Unfortunately, it was already 8. I texted Sean mentioning that I'd be a few minutes late, which may not have been necessary given that anything before fifteen minutes late in New York is on-time to early.

Indoor Snow Sport Complex for Texas
The city of Grand Prairie in North Texas has announced plans to build an all-year-around indoor snow sport center featuring seven different slopes to cater for skiers and snowboarders, from beginners to experts. Beginner runs have four slope angles, while green runs feature slopes from 6 to 10 degrees, and blue runs from 10 to 12.5 degrees. Black runs will have slopes from 12.5 degrees to 28 degrees, with the same gradients for forest runs. Snowboarders have look forward to a top-of-the-range snowboard park featuring a full competition half pipe, terrain park, rails, kickers, jumps and a performance area, as well as a free rider run with snow berms. The 1,900′ ski run will be the longest of its kind in the world and all this will be accommodated in a structure almost 300′ tall, 1,220′ long and 570′ wide. Other features of the resort will be a play area, tobogganing, snow tubing and a luge track.
The Grand Alps® indoor ski center will form part of a hotel, entertainment and retail complex. The 4-star Hard Rock hotel will have 300 rooms, as well as a conference center and a number of meeting and event rooms. Entertainment options will include a rooftop swimming pool, complete with cabanas and poolside bar and grill, a family entertainment center, a digital Cineplex and a variety of restaurants, cafés and retail stores. The complex will also feature a Spa and Wellness center, available to both guests and members of the public.
The estimated cost of the resort is $398 million, with funding coming from various sources including private-equity investors and the Grand Alps company, led by Sherman Thurston and Levi Davis. The city's investment in the project reportedly includes the land upon which the center will be built, three-year TIF funds for infrastructure, as well as 100% real estate tax abatement for a period of seven years, and a 75 percent rebate of hotel/motel tax for a period of ten years.
According to Thurston, Grand Alps is building indoor ski resorts in China, Malaysia and Brazil, but the Grand Prairie project is their first in the United States. The project is expected to start in the first quarter of 2015, with a view to opening in early 2018.
Mammoth Mountain Acquires Snow Summit and Big Bear
Mammoth Mountain, in eastern California, recently announced that it has acquired Big Bear Mountain Resorts and Snow Summit in a $38 million deal, making it one of the biggest ski companies in the United States. Together with June Mountain, which is already owned by Mammoth Mountain, the new four-resort group collectively hosts more than two million snow sport enthusiasts each year. In an interview, CEO of Mammoth Mountain, Rusty Gregory, noted that announcements detailing development and expansion plans for all four resorts will be made in the next few months.
Already one of the California's most popular resorts, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area covers more than 3,500 acres of skiable terrain along the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California, offering traditional alpine skiing and snowboarding, as well as cross-country and snowshoe terrain, snowmobile action and Snowcat tours. The ski area's top elevation is 11,053 feet, with its base elevation at 7,953 feet. Average snowfall is 400 inches, with snowmaking on 46 trails. Twenty-eight lifts ensure more time on the snow, and an average of 300 days of sunshine adds to the pleasure of skiing at this Californian resort.
To make snow sport in this region of California even more accessible, particularly to visitors from the East and Midwest, Mammoth Mountain recently announced that two new flights into Mammoth Lakes airport will be added in the upcoming season – Alaska Airlines will be flying from Las Vegas, and United from Denver. Mammoth has also initiated its new "Cali4nia Pass" offering unlimited skiing and boarding at all four of its resorts, discounted for a limited time.
The Snow Summit deal includes a golf course, a driving range and a number of parking lots, along with the rights to 438 acres of skiable land which is owned by the US Forest Service. Moreover, Mammoth Mountain's investors are reportedly planning to build on land around Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, all of which adds to the value of the deal. For skiers the development of the resorts and combined deals that may make snow skiing more affordable, the acquisition of Snow Summit and Big Bear Mountain by Mammoth Mountain is no doubt good news.

Department of Defense:
Further Actions Needed to Establish and Implement a Framework for Successful Business Transformation
GAO-04-626T: Published: Mar 31, 2004. Publicly Released: Mar 31, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-9505
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO has issued several reports pertaining to the Department of Defense's (DOD) architecture and systems modernization efforts which revealed that many of the underlying conditions that contributed to the failure of prior DOD efforts to improve its business systems remain fundamentally unchanged. The Subcommittee on Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities, House Committee on Armed Services, asked GAO to provide its perspectives on (1) the impact long-standing financial and related business weaknesses continue to have on DOD, (2) the underlying causes of DOD business transformation challenges, and (3) DOD business transformation efforts. In addition, GAO reiterates the key elements to successful reform: (1) an integrated business transformation strategy, (2) sustained leadership and resource control, (3) clear lines of responsibility and accountability, (4) results-oriented performance, (5) appropriate incentives and consequences, (6) an enterprise architecture to guide reform efforts, and (7) effective monitoring and oversight. GAO also offers two suggestions for legislative consideration that are intended to improve the likelihood of meaningful, broad-based financial management and related business reform at DOD.
DOD's senior civilian and military leaders are committed to transforming the department and improving its business operations and have taken positive steps to begin this effort. However, overhauling the financial management and related business operations of one of the largest and most complex organizations in the world represents a huge management challenge. Six DOD program areas are on GAO's "high risk" list, and the department shares responsibility for three other governmentwide high-risk areas. DOD's substantial financial and business management weaknesses adversely affect not only its ability to produce auditable financial information, but also to provide timely, reliable information for management and Congress to use in making informed decisions. Further, the lack of adequate transparency and appropriate accountability across all of DOD's major business areas results in billions of dollars in annual wasted resources in a time of increasing fiscal constraint. Four underlying causes impede reform: (1) lack of sustained leadership, (2) cultural resistance to change, (3) lack of meaningful metrics and ongoing monitoring, and (4) inadequate incentives and accountability mechanisms. To address these issues, GAO reiterates the keys to successful business transformation and offers two suggestions for legislative action. First GAO suggests that a senior management position be established to spearhead DOD-wide business transformation efforts. Second, GAO proposes that the leaders of DOD's functional areas, referred to as departmentwide domains, receive and control the funding for system investments, as opposed to the military services. Domain leaders would be responsible for managing business system and process reform efforts within their business areas and would be accountable to the new senior management official for ensuring their efforts comply with DOD's business enterprise architecture.

I just don't get it. I had no formal training in logical fallacies and had to play catch up in them once I decided I was not an agnostic, I am proudly atheist. Are some people so indoctrinated in dogma they cannot see the foolishness of things they say? A woman in a city near mine posted a social media message to the effect that she does not understand why God decided to take her young daughter at this time, a child, but she is comforted by the idea the girl is "there in Heaven with you, Lord." God sent a boyfriend to the mother; now, he's under arrest, charged with physically abusing the girl, who later died in a hospital. Why would God so hate the mother He would take her child from her? Why couldn't God have seen to it that the murderer got run over by a semi prior to ever entering the mother's house. Epicurus said God can be omnipotent and God can be good, but God cannot be both good and omnipotent.
Precisely, and I went through such a period and came out atheist.
Now why would god give a shit about starving children and war victims and ebola when she's busy making sure my darling daughter gets onto the cheerleading team???
Right??!! Or blessing them with the bountiful meals they eat every single day....in excess. I guess those starving kids all over the world don't need that food.
Not a chance, Luara. Not too much education though basically a nice guy.
There isn't any God. That's why nobody out there gives a shit. I don't know why she wasn't cursing out the motherfucker who murdered her child. I'd be hoping he got beat to death in jail.

I am a middle, and have classic middle child traits: insecure, shy, but also a diplomat/peacemaker.
Which are you and do you have the typical traits that you're supposed to have? |

I'm the baby, by far! I took this quiz that predicts birth order, and it correctly guessed I was the fourth born! Amazing. |
Here is a link that might be useful: birth order quiz
I am the youngest. Funny, Stinky, I took the quiz three times and it kept saying I was an only child. I changed my answers each time while trying to be honest. None of the answers seemed to fit me. |
Same here, Golddust.... I am the youngest of three, but the quiz told me I am an only child. haha |
Told me I was an only child too. I'm the oldest of 3. |
I am a middle, but my older sister is disabled, so in many ways, I was the oldest. I took the quiz, Stinky, and it said I was an oldest child. Fun, although some questions were hard and I would have combined answers! |

Got it right for me, I'm the oldest. Lynn |

Great quiz, Stinky! I didn't think it could possibly be accurate with so few questions but it got mine right. I am a first born but separated by five years plus from my two siblings so qualify as having first born characteristics. I don't think I do ...but maybe I do indeed. |
- Posted by patty_cakes (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 19:26
I'm the fourth child...of only three. ;o) |
- Posted by lukkiirish (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 19:28
I am the second oldest out of 5. When I took the test it first said I was an only child then I retook it with answers that were equally applicable and it said I was the third child. Did anyone take any of the other tests? I did and none of them came out the way I thought they would either. The site is still fun to toy with though, thanks for linking it Stinky. |
- Posted by lukkiirish (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 19:46
Bumblebeez, my older sister is five years older than me too. She was really upset when I was born, which isn't unusual considering how long she had been an only child, but I'm curious, were you upset when your siblings were born? |
My younger sibling is 13 years my junior so for those years I was the youngest, before becoming the middle of 3. |
I'm the third oldest of seven. But I'm the oldest girl, which I think makes a difference. My parents would rely on me to babysit and do chores where they wouldn't trust my older brothers. I took the quiz and it said I was the fourth child, which isn't too far off. I was the middle kid for a long time though. There's a big gap in years and then my youngest two siblings were a big surprise! Both a surprise pregnancy and surprise! Twins! |
The quiz said I was an only child, too. I am the youngest of 3, but the only girl. |
I'm right in the middle of a brother who is three years older and a sister who is four years younger. My brother and sister were both handfuls for different reasons and I was the easygoing happy kid who would tell it like it is. Somethings never change! I thought that a few of the questions were applicable to me so I took the test using one set of answers then took it again using another set. Both times it said I was the second born. |
The quiz said I was an only child, which is true. I am sure I have many of the typical only child characteristics, whatever they are! However, my parents went out of their way to not "spoil" me in a material way, both because they didn't have a lot of money and because I think they were being careful not to turn me into what they perceived as the typical only child who got everything she wanted. They wanted more kids but it just didn't work out. They never questioned it, but found out many years later that my mother had very bad endometriosis that was never diagnosed. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like with siblings! |
Mine said 4th and am an only child. |
I tested as an only child but I am the oldest of 3, we are all 5 years apart, I am the only girl though. |
- Posted by fourkids4us (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 20:28
I took it twice, changing my answers on two questions where there was more than one answer that suited me. On both tests, it placed me in the wrong spot. I'm the middle child of three, oldest girl - my brother is four years older and my sister is three years younger. I'm not sure what this quiz is based on, but having read The New Birth Order and other articles/books about birth order, I seem to fit typically in with what is considered "middle child syndrome." While I've always felt some favoritism from my father (mainly b/c we are very much alike), I definitely feel the middle child syndrome when it comes to my mother. I attributed to the fact that my brother, the oldest, was the only boy in the family and had a special spot in my mom's heart, and the fact that my sister, adopted and the youngest, also had a special place in my heart. My mom still to this day places extra attention on my sister to ensure that she doesn't feel left out, etc. Eh, I should shut up now or my middle child whining will come out! So the survey showed me as an only child the first time and the youngest child (or something like that) the second time. |
I tested as an only but I'm the 4th of 6. But...I'm the only girl, and....the two youngest db's are 6 and 7 years younger than me. I'm confused. |
Deedee, you are a rose among thorns, like me! Except my four brothers are all younger than I. I tested as an only, too and all five of us are squeezed into 9 years, no twins. |
- Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 20:51
Luk, I meant to say I have the characteristics of an only child but when my brothers came along, I don't remember that much about them. I was five years older and had my own world. I am close to my youngest brother now though. |
- Posted by stinky-gardener (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 20:53
Wow! Glad many of you enjoyed taking the quiz...even though the accuracy level seems to be questionable, lol! All in fun! Nancy, great thread topic (as usual!) Birth order does play a large role in shaping our personalities. Sherrmann, I like that...a rose among thorns! |
I'm a middle. I wrote a paper on the effect of birth order when I was in college. I have the worst position -- middle child, second of the same sex (I had an older sister) followed by a younger child of the opposite sex. This means I am not special by being the oldest, nor the first of my sex and the baby is also special because he is the baby and also the first of his sex. Sometimes I think it's all a bunch of bunk because families are all different. I do have a lot of traits of a middle child, though. |
emagineer, I, too am an only and tested as the fourth. I've never read about 4th child's traits anywhere. I have some very typical only traits...I love my solitude, I'm a great problem solver (no one to help you figure things out), & I always related well to my elders but now I am one. And I've made a place for myself (or they have welcomed me in) to several wonderful, large families over the years. I love the chaos and camaraderie of large families - even if they don't all get along. I love observing the dynamics of it all. Stereotypical only, I do love getting my way, if it's something I care a great deal about. |
Youngest. Unexpected. Court Jester. |
- Posted by lukkiirish (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 21:08
BBZ, ok, we were all girls so that may have played a part in it to. Thanks for responding. |
It pegged me as a 4th born. I am a 4th born. With the exception of career traits which were a bit mixed, it described me to a T. Pretty amazing. |
- Posted by nancybee_2010 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 21:35
thanks, stinky! I tested as an only (I'm a middle) Wasn't Jan a middle? :) |
I also took the test twice because could answer a couple of questions differently. Each time said I am an only child, but I'm actually the youngest -- seem like that happened quite a bit amongst this group. |
I'm an oldest, but that test pegged me first as a 4th born, next as an only and the 3rd time (picking the most obvious for my birth order) was a first born, but the description is totally not me. I'm a typical first born: the high achiever, orderly, controlling and a herder. There is 23 months between my brother and I, but almost 7 years between my sister and I. |
I am #4 out of 6, with a sister, brother, sister older and 2 younger sisters. The first 4 were born within 6 years, then a 6 year break, then the last 2. We are very lucky that we all get along fabulously and have great fun together. I've mentioned this before but they refer to me as The Link - as the middle sister it is my job to keep everybody informed about what's going on in the family. It's a pleasure not a burden. The quiz said I was an oldest. I didn't retake that quiz but did taking many of the other silly ones. I didn't learn anything of value, except I like to waste time taking silly quizzes. |
My brother and I are both only children. At least that's how we see it, since he's almost twelve years younger than I am. I graduated high school in June and he started first grade that fall! The quiz had me as an only child, too. But there were some questions I didn't like any of the answers and had to fudge. |
You know, hhireno, I have six kids, and it is my fourth who is the link among the kids. He talks to everybody all the time, keeping everyone in the loop. He is the third of three boys...g, b, b, b, g, g. They are spread over 16 1/2 years, similar to you and your sibs. It is one of our greatest pleasures that all six of them love and enjoy each other, have independent relationships with us and each other, and that their kids are enjoying their cousins, aunts and uncles. |
I am a first born of 6. The age difference between myself and the youngest is 8 years. Yep, 6 kids in 8 years. My Dad was an only and my mom only had 1 brother who is 8 years younger. They decided they wanted lots of kids very quickly. I too, am orderly, controlling and a herder. The controlling part I have let go. |

Arizona Diamondbacks
Former Diamondback Brandon Webb to retire
Brandon Webb last pitched in a Major League Baseball game on Opening Day in 2009.
The ace of the Arizona Diamondbacks' staff, Webb had been an All-Star three times and won the NL Cy Young Award in 2006.
The right-hander got shelled that afternoon, allowing six earned runs in just four innings of work. He walked two and struck out two.
It was learned soon after that Webb had problems with his shoulder, and what followed was a lengthy and fruitless rehab process that never led to the pitcher returning to the mound in a big league game.
And now, as reported by ESPN.com baseball writer Jerry Crasnick , instead of continuing to throw towels in hopes of healing, Webb is throwing in the towel on his MLB career.
Webb hangs up the cleats with a record of 87-62 with a 3.27 ERA. He pitched 1,319.2 innings, allowing 1,200 hits and 435 walks. He struck out 1,065 batters and tallied eight career shutouts.
Webb ranks third on the D-backs' all-time list in ERA and is second in wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, games started and shutouts.

There was a fair amount of gallows humor around here yesterday, what with AOL announcing it would be posting free reruns of 30 Warner Bros. TV shows on the web. "A New Era for TV," read a banner headline on Television Week. "The tipping point has occurred," said Becky Worley, who talks about technology on Good Morning America. (Read more here.)
There's been a lot of tipping in the last few weeks. CBS and NBC have made deals with Comcast and DirecTV so subscribers can get programs on-demand; ABC/Disney (standard disclaimer: yep, that's our parent company) lets you download shows onto your video iPod. And the prices are striking. $1.99 in some cases, free in others–though, in exchange, you have to watch commercials, just as you did in the stone age last week.
But let's play contrarian, for just a moment. A few years ago I did a story for World News Tonight for which our in-house title was, "Obsolescence is Overrated." In Brooklyn, N.Y., right across the river from downtown New York City, with its hustle and bustle and millions of humming computers, we found the Ko-Rec-Type company. In the days before word processing, they were the typist's friend, selling you little paper tabs that would let you white-out your mistakes.
Naturally, they've had to diversify–into typewriter ribbons, and ink cartridges for dot-matrix printers–and there have been corporate mergers since they started. But they're still there.
We spoke to a couple of historians of technology who were hardly surprised. New technologies come along constantly, they said, but it's rare that they take over precisely the job the old technology did. They may shove the old one to the side, they may redefine it, but they don't necessarily replace it.
There are plenty of examples:
- The railroads were not wiped out by air travel, though they mostly carry freight and commuters instead of taking people on cross-country trips.
- Radio survived the arrival of TV, though the days are long past when families gathered to look at the radio as Jack Benny performed.
- I don't know about your office, but I've been to many where there's one sorry-looking typewriter in the corner–essential if someone has to fill out a form or a label.
"As long as the typewriter has some value, why actually chuck it out?" said Kevin Werbach, a technology analyst and writer who also teaches at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
This is hardly to say the folks who put stuff on TV won't need to embrace change. (Here I am, for one, a broadcast reporter who's writing a blog.) But there will still be plenty of nights, for all of us, when we get home, plop down on the sofa, and reach for the remote, muttering, "Lemme see what's on…."
Intelligent-Design note: a couple of people wondered why I didn't write about last week's vote in Kansas. Fact is, I didn't cover it. ABC has been regarding the intelligent design debate mostly as a cultural-political issue, so it's fallen to other reporters. Dan Harris has done a fair amount of stuff; you can find a piece of his last week here. Sorry if it was hard to find.

Carpet One Floor & Home cossets chambers with a variety of ground garments including carpet, wood, laminate, vinyl, and ceramic tile. At Carpet One's show room, an attentive sales staff will guide customers through a SelectAFloor shopping system, to show them hundreds of flooring colors, styles, brands, and mouth feels. Hardwoods ($1.99–$15.39/sq. ft.) from brands such as American Expressions and Invincible can enrobe entryways in warm earth tones and glossy finishes, and vinyl, tile, or laminate flooring can cover foot highways with durable, low-maintenance surfaces. Meanwhile, Evans Black, Millcraft, and Tigressá carpets ($0.89–$9.08/sq. ft.) arrive at their new homes and promise that they will not attack window treatments.
After working under platform artists for Redken and Paul Mitchell, master cosmetologist Carlos Flores opened Aqua Salon and Day Spa, a Paul Mitchell focus salon that emphasizes continuing education and training for its styling team. During services, the team unholsters premium products such as Aquage and Mitch, a Paul Mitchell line developed especially for men. Because the spa regularly styles both ladies and gents, the decor is neutral and posh, like the Supreme Court's dressing room. Dramatic plants sprout from vases scattered around the spa, and suede seats and a cowhide rug decorate the lobby.
